Notes:

1 : The given read/write speeds are the maximum you would observe with a USB 3.0 connection. Actual speeds will typically be less than this depending on a number of variables notably including the type/size of read/write operation and the USB board hardware and software version (i.e., future orders of USB boards may be a bit faster or slower than the given speeds).

2 : All capacity and speed units on this page/site use a power of 2 notation to match that used by most operating systems: 1 KB = 1024 bytes, 1 MB = 1,048,576 bytes, 1 GB = 1,073,741,824 bytes
